12 Elegant Christmas Tree Decorating Ideas

Elegant Christmas Tree Decorating Ideas
August 4, 2022 by Betty Koehn

Before you start decorating your Christmas tree, you always have 2 main options: You could walk down the conventional Christmas decor path and use the traditional red and green Christmas tree ideas; alternatively, you can make your Christmas tree pop with uncommon fervor by using other elegant color combinations.

If you are with us on the second option but are short of elegant Christmas tree decorating ideas, we’ve got you covered. We share some chic tree decorating ideas below.

Shimmering Flocked Christmas Tree

It’s not every time you come across Christmas tree decorations that combine gold and silver. But this elegant Christmas tree design does it effortlessly.

The use of silver and gold ornaments on this flocked tree creates a very bright appearance. It is reminiscent of a winter wonderland, and of course, it has some festive undertone.

Country-Themed Christmas Tree

While this design style is rustic, it is super elegant, thanks to the ingenious-but-simple color scheme. The dull colors of the pinecones and Christmas tree are well-balanced by the oversized ivory white ornaments. Hence, the soothing yet elegant feel of the tree.

The decoration follows the same scheme down to the gifts around the tree skirt. As is obvious, this ensures that there is no interruption in the tree’s elegance.

If you have a modern interior or if you are looking for the perfect holiday decor for your farmhouse, you really should check this out.

A Unusual Color Scheme

This elegant Christmas tree decorating idea uses three colors you’ll rarely see together on Christmas trees: silver, crayola, and gold. Ordinarily, this color combination may not have popped as beautifully as this. But the interior decor of the room offers tones that blend with the Christmas tree decorations, and this made all the difference.

If we were to recreate this, we may do without the golden ornament and warm Christmas lights. In place of the warm lights, we will use clear lights.

Silhouette Ornaments

Here’s another rustic Christmas tree that gets its elegance from creative use of neutral and rich tones. It has an air of calm and coordination around it and is perfect for minimalist and rustic interiors.

While this tree uses some traditional tree ornaments, it also uses silhouettes ornaments, and this adds some uniqueness to the look. Then the figurine tree topper is an important part of the whole thing as it adds details.

Dazzling Monochrome Christmas Tree

When people think of an elegant Christmas tree, monochrome tree decorating ideas may not be their first option. But then, as you can see, a flocked Christmas tree with hints of black is as splendid as elegant Christmas trees come.

Green and White Christmas Tree

This simple, elegant Christmas tree brings magic into any space. It exudes an air of coolness thanks to the white baubles and snowflakes. At the same time, it retains a festive feel thanks to the Christmas tree.

As you can already tell, this is another Christmas decor that works for both modern and rustic interiors. But even in spaces that are neither rustic nor modern, it should work fine.

A Tree of Natural Elements

There’s this sophistication that comes with modern designs. Unsurprisingly, many of our elegant Christmas tree ideas, including this one, are minimalist.

When out during the holiday decorating an elegant Christmas tree, simply adorning a green Christmas tree with wooden beads and ceramic ornaments might just give you the perfection you want.

Monochrome Christmas Tree With Metallic Ornaments

Here’s another elegant Christmas tree idea that uses a white Christmas tree with hints of black.

Unlike the first one, this holiday decorating design goes beyond monochrome a bit as it contains tree decorations in other colors. But then, the non-monochrome colors of the metallic ornaments on the tree branches are largely uniform as their hues blend well. So, the monochrome appearance is not subdued in any way.

Besides the metallic ornaments, this Christmas tree features some faux flowers. The flowers add some character to the overall design. But their absence wouldn’t change much about the tree’s appearance.

Familiar Colors

All the Christmas tree decorations we’ve discussed so far did not use the traditional red and green colors. But this one uses those colors, and it bursts with grace.

The inclusion of flocked branches and white, silver, & black ornaments accentuates the stylishness of the Christmas tree and red baubles.

This elegant Christmas tree design will work best in modern interiors. Conversely, it may not pop this good in a non-minimalist interior.

Potted Mini Trees

If you would like to decorate your shelves, tables, and other similar parts of your home with Christmas trees, check this out.

This idea features smaller trees potted in a brown paper and sparsely decorated with wooden ornaments. It is the perfect rustic setting – simple with a cohesive look.

Besides using this decor for tables, shelves, and mantels, you may use it if you have limited space for a regular-sized Christmas tree.

Silver Tinsel Christmas Tree

If elegant holiday tree decoration means shiny to you, then this elegant Christmas tree idea might work for you. The overall look of this design is pretty balanced, and this helps it fit well into the room.

Thanks to the equipoise between the scant decorations and the sparkle of the silver tinsel tree, you wouldn’t have to worry about the decor being too noisy.

Sparkle On White

You can never go wrong when combining an intense color like green with white. This is one of the many reasons why this white Christmas tree decoration works this well.

With white as their backdrop color, the gold and green elements of this elegant Christmas tree idea are more pronounced/shinier. Then again, the white background helps the design retain some element of modern decor.
